Points About Arrowrooh.

The Florida AgriculturiSt says that Mr..
T.. Wendt has been making experiments
with arrowroot with the view of utilizing
IL Tor making starch The starch which he
has manufactured from it is reported to be
OF excellent quality, very fine and free from
all Jumps and foreign matter. The Agri-
cuttur'iSt says that this is another example
OF what our people could do if they would.
Arrowroot grows well on our pine land and
Is less affected by vicissitudes of weather
than almost any other crop that can be
produced, and the manufacture of the starch
IS nm easy matter, requiring more cleanli-
ness than skill. While it may not pay a
big per cent 1t will furnish some revenue, if
not from the amount exported, from the
amount it will save in furnishing an article
OF home consumption. Each family should
have small patch for their own use, and
we are glad to know that quite a number
around here are raising it.
To make the starch the roots must be re-
duced to pulp by crater or similar ar
rangement The pulp should be thoroughly
washed and strained through fine sieve
The tibrous matter will remain in the sieve
while the small particles of starch will be
carried through with the water and settle
to the bottom of the tub. The water is then
drawn off and the starch spread on muslin
trays to dry. The more times the starch is
washed and allowed to settle and the bot
tom layer taken, the finer quality will be
the article produced.

Land Plaster.

1t is stated that the power of land plaster
of absorbing that powerful and volatile
fertilizer, ammonia, and holding it fast
until 1t is to be given up to the growing
crop, makes it very valuable constituent
of the compost. We often see a compost
heap or manure pile giving off ammonia
This is apparent to our eyes as well as to
our nose. The easiest and. most effectual
way to stop this escape of SO valuable a
substance is to sow plaster over the heap. 1t
will absorb the escaping ammonia and hold
it fast, while all the time gathering a fur
Their store from the atmosphere. Every
man who composts manure or who allows
stable manure to accumulate has need of
gypsum.
Liebig says that the good effects of land
plaster are not diminished in soils having
an abundance of lime. 1t is an excellent
fertilizer for potatoes. for clover and peas
as well as many other crops. Liebig found
that four pounds of land plaster produced
100 pounds of clover Crops that need a
great deal of ammonia are greatly bene-
flied by land plaster, and ammonia is al
most a universal fertilizer, good for all
crops. One bushel of land plaster to an
acre is said to be as good as ten bushels; the
crop can only appropriate or use small
quantity, and it is waste to use more than
the crop needs.

Overlooking Hogs with Corn.

Mr.. +. d. Curtis, in an article in the
Southern Farmer, says that as rule there
is little danger of hogs being overfed with
limit to the time of feeding pigs, or even
old hogs, all the corn they will eat. Old
hogs will stand it longer, but in the end
they will break down. The dent corn is a
lighter food than the flint and can be fed
longer, but ground or unground, an exclu-
sive and excessive feeding of clear corn
will in tim ruin any hog; but some will
endure it longer than others.
A man who does not take any agricultu-
raj paper, partly from stinginess and partly
from a notion that he knows as much as
them book fellers," fed a pen of ten pigs
this year. He had a lot of old flint corn
ground and when they were about eight
months old, having kept them up to this
time on milk, he began giving them all the
corn meal they would eat. They ate it
freely, for hogs, and in fact all animals,
are very fond of corn meal. They grew
very fast, and the owner was thinking that
by New Years he would beat the town
with his pigs, when all at once they refused
to eat and would not leave the nest.
1t was found that they were foundered,
and the result was that they had to be
turned out of the pen and it took weeks for
any to get over it, and some never did. Let
it be remembered that this will always be
the case with any pen of hogs fed long
enough and kept confined. When hogs
have the run of a field, il is rarely the case
that they will get so feverish as to be foun-
dered all over, but they will often get quite
stiff. The corn should be mixed with bran
or oats and only half of the bulk of the
food should be of the corn or carbonaceous
sort. Such fevered pork is not the thing to
eat. When hogs are fed all the corn meal
they will eat one-third of it is wasted. If
farmers do not believe this get microscope
and examine the excreta and see the corn
meal in it undigested. 1t can also be seen
by the simple magnifier of common sense

Popular Science.

M German Lee. in recent communica-
ton to the French Academy of Sciences
recommends the removal of pain by hypo-
dermic injections of autipyrin. The drug
does not produce vertigo nor somnolence.
A process for making a substitute for
leather from gutta percha and sulphur has
been brought out in France. Raw cotton
and oxide of anthony are we'll mixed with
these ingredients and the whole vulcanized

be useful for making the soles and heels of
shoes
No one knows the exact nature of cleo
tricitv. It's effects and the laws governing
its action are well understood, but what It
is is still a mystery. Probably it is a mode
of motion, like light and heat. The causes
which produce the electricity of thunder
storms and auroras are still matter of
doubt.
A German authority recommends the
following simple method of protecting iron
from rust: The article is Immersed in
nearly saturated solution of chloride of tin,
then washed in water, and afterward with
weak ammonia. The tin solution must not

Careful Breeding.

A writer i'll the Philadelphia Record saws
that the breeder is not behind the manufac-
turer and inventor in the work accom-
plished, though his work has been more
difficult and has extended over greater
period of time. When the field is observed
it shows most wonderful progress for the
breeder during the past fifty years. He has
taken all the domestic animals from their
original condition and nodded or changed
them in form as though modelling from
clay, and the characteristics of each breed
have been fixed according to his preference.
He has divided the horses into breeds and
classified them, producing from the same
original stock the heavy draught, the run
ner and the trotter, not excepting the po-
MES, and is now at work on fast-gaited
walking horses, each family being entirely
different from the others, while crosses of
the ass and the borse of the present day
produce mules of larger size than either
parent. The cattle have been classified in
a manner to permit of the selection of par
ticular breeds for any purpose to which
such stock may be adapted. The Short.
horns. Herefords and Polled Angus are bred
solely for beef, the Jerseys and Guernseys
are especially adapted for the production
of butter, the Devons are best as work
oxen, and the Holsteins and Ayrshires excel
as producers of milk, though the latter
breeds are excellent butter producers also.
The breeders operations with swine have
also been very successful. He has bred
them to a uniformity of color truly re-
markable. The Berkshire is not only spe-
hams, but is also marked with black hair
and four white feet, as well as white spot
on the forehead and on the tuft of the tail
The Essex is entirely black and bred long
in the body as a producer of side meat
while the short-faced Yorkshire, white in
color, mature very early and excel in the
production of fat and lard. Sheep are
classified into mutton and wool breeds, the
former being subdivided into families that
produce a larger proportion of marbled
flesh according to maturity or size, while
the wool breeds are made to produce long,
middle or fine wool, according to prefer
ence No work of the breeder has been
considered impossible. His efforts have
been successful in every direction. Even
the poultry have been classified and the
breeder has even destroyed the propensity
toincubate in some breeds. The great value
of the work done by the breeders who have
brought about these classifcations cannot
be estimated, as the increase is not confined
to single year. Whether the limit of i'm
provement has been reached or not cannot
be stated, but in the face of such wonderful
accomplishments it is safe to claim that
nothing seems impossible.

Potash on Soil.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
says clayey lands usually contain much
more of potash than do lighter Soils and
some may not respond so literally to an
application of these salts, yet it is by no
means to be inferred that a clay loan never
lacks of this element of fertility This can
only be ascertained by careful and repeated
trials If one is to test his soil by an ap-
plication of potash to see whether its effects
are such as to warrant its increased appli-
cation, the plant selected should not be one
of the hoed crops, but rather leguminous
or a cereal; and the trial should be made on
several parts of the farm. Most of the root
crops require great deal of potash. AT the
North they make Irish potatoes and beets
their standard. Our sweet potatoes require
about as much for best success as do our
Irish potatoes Clover, and the leguminous
plants in general, require the presence of
potash in the soil in much larger quantities
than do the cereals, yet 1t is mistake to
think that the cereals will not reward
potash manuring, if lacking in the soil, as
much as any plant; and whatever is not
absorbed of such a manure remains for the
following crop, which may be more benefi-
cial than direct manuring.

Small Breeds of Fowls.

A well-known writer on poultry says
that the Leghorns and Hamburgs. though
small in size, grow rapidly and mature
early. 1t requires some time before large
fowl attains its full size. The advantage of
the small breeds is, that they permit us to
make a ''short cut" to the laying point,
though they may be deficient in weight.
So far as the cost is concerned, it has been
demonstrated that it requir no more food
for large fowl than small one, compared
with the product. That is. we can produce
as many pounds Of Leghorn meat as we
can of Cochin meat with the same proper.
ton of food, but in laying qualities the
small breeds are superior, as they are usually
non-sitters and lay large eggs. Another
advantage with them is that, being small,
a larger number can be kept together as
they require less room on the roost. Being
active, they do not become excessively fat
and if allowed to run at large they will
pick UP large proportion Of their food
during favorable seasons. Being usually
clean-legged. they are not as subject to
scabby legs as the Asiatics. and if kept
warm in winter they lay about as well dur
ing the cold seasons as in summer.
